From My Bookshelf to Yours: Go Away Mr Worrythoughts

Go Away Mr Worrythoughts by 2011 AusMumpreneur Awards Finalist Nicky Johnston is a must have book for children who suffer from anxiety. We meet Bayden who suffers from worry. His anxiety is so powerful it is like a monster that follows him everywhere and steals his joy. He learns that he has super powers and can banish worry from his life by visualization.

This book is filled with useful tips that will help children and their parents banish worry from their lives. This book explains how to take control over those thoughts and how to tell them to “Go Away!” One of the most important parts of this book is that it explains that these thoughts will try to sneak their way back in but your child has the power to make them vanish. The book ends with 3 steps to send that anxiety monster away. They are laid out so that they are easy to follow.

Nicky’s passion for her message shines through the illustrations and each word she used. This book has a powerful message and will change lives! Every child that reads Go Away Mr Worrythoughts will close the book and feel empowered. Even my four year old was able to grasp the message. I wish that I had access to this book years ago for some clients that were being crippled by anxiety.
